The difference is actually enormous. Cartoons are a genre. American animated features are another genre. Anime is a catch-all term for Japanese Animation, but in the end it's only a style of animation, and Animation is a medium.
'toons are always the same slapstick comedy. Disney movies and their ilk are always the same too (in fact, it's pretty much always the same story, with the ame characters) - adventure, drama and comedy put together, aimed at kid but with enough for their parents to enjoy.
There's a whole bunch of style in Anime. Drama, action, adventure, comedy, western, science-fiction, space opera - you name it, you can animate it instead of filming it live action. The difference between animation and live action is akin to the difference between black and white and color, or silent film and talkies.
Japanese Anime are not the only worthy animated features, either - The Flight Of Dragons
is a cult classic. Le Roi et l'Oiseau is a wonderful work of art. The Japanese have the difference of churning up animation industrially, and most of it is drawn the same way (which is more of a turn-off than anything, to me anyway), and so for some that makes it a discernible genre. It's not. Even apparently similar Anime such as Sailor Moon and Fushigi Yuugi are world apart. You can't possibly compare anime on the ground that they're anime - you'd have an easier time comparing the Rurouni Kenshin OVA (Samurai X in the US I believe) to a live-action Samurai movie than to, say, Cowboy Bebop.
So, please, don't lump Anime with cartoons. It's not even similar
MSDN has a similar behavior. I don't give a shit about MSN, but I needed to download the DirectX 8.1 SDK (to use OGRE) the other, and it was hell. I fact, I needed to identify as Mozilla 5 to see more than a few unrelated links on this page (try it if you have Opera. Change your identifier and reload the page)
The consoles are designed to do one thing: play games. If all of them have the same exact capacity to play games, there would be no preference at all. Every console would do the exact same thing, unlike DVD players or VCRs, where there are concrete features that can be worked in to increase the consumer value of the product.
Far from true. Hardware could be completely different, with a standard operating system/librairies. If every console could *technically* run any game, with the only limitation being "is the hardware good enough" then... then they'd pretty much be PCs...
Ironically, after the initial flop of the film at the box office, its popularity grew after its copyright expired due to a clerical error and it was shown repeatedly on American television (especially at Christmas) without any royalties going to Frank Capra.
Feh! You may disagree with his appreciation of the movie, but the facts are against you on this one.
The telephone was invented by Antonnio Meucci, an Italian, no matter what that dumb bitch Sheila Copps says. The telegraph is another thing altogether and predates Alexander Graham Bell by a long run.
fifty dollars ($50) for each electronic mail message initiated or delivered in violation of this section, up to a maximum of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per day, whichever amount is greater.
That doesn't make sense. Just read it carefully. If you send under 25,000$ worth of spam, you have to pay 25,000$ (whichever amount is greater). But, if I send over 25,000$ worth, I don't pay the greater amount because the maximum is 25,000$. So basically you always pay 25,000$... so why not just say it plainly?
The new version is sluggish and seems to have memory leaks... the database system they use for your files information freeze the whole program for a few seconds to a minute everytime you modify a file or enter a new folder... and after a few hours running the task manager tells me Kazaa is taking up 43 MB in memory. What's this, a fucking BETA?
What the fuck are you doing on Kazaa to get Anime? Get Hotline, then after a while when you have accounts on good servers, you can download the latest anime a few days after the DVD comes out... in Japan. Of course, it requires a bit more effort since you have to fill people's request and find servers, but it's well worth it.
Easy: put up a limit to users' bandwidth, and charge extra when they go above the limit. Fuck, one of my friend running a Hotline server got a 250$ bill when his ISP started charging 8$ a GB above 5 gigs... that's what happen when you don't read the notices they send you
Not if it's in DivX, and every full length is in DivX. The only way I've found so far is to copy the partially downloaded file to another folder and then open it with Virtual Dub. VDub will reconstruct the index and then you can preview the file
The movie really isn't anything like Mononoke Hime. It's much more kid-oriented, and mostly feels like a really good, creative Disney movie. Very little violence or action (though there's quite a bit of blood at times). I personally liked it, but a lot of my friends didn't. Just be cautioned: this movie isn't for anyone.
There *is* a password recovery system... although it's a stupid one. If you just reinstall Windows, it'll ask you for a new Admin Password, but it won't clean up your partition (ie, all your files will still be there). I'm not sure if it works with Windows XP, but it works with 2k.
Plus the clicktrough would be worthless, as people would click just to get bandwidth. It wouldn't take too long your before your advertisers notice and stop paying you.
Banners in opera are not too obnoxious, don't float around on the desktop, don't open pop-ups, and you can even get rid of them by navigating full screen. How can anyone mind them?!
I wouldn't bet on that. A few years back, there were lots of free, banner-supported internet connection (I remember Altavista offered such a service, among others). It didn't stick around for too long.
Now banners are worth less and people hate them more than ever... why don't you just charge money anyway? Don't you think there's enough ad banners as it is?
If they had only altered LOTR's plot it wouldn't be half bad. Their treatment of the characters, and especially Gimli, is HORRIBLE. Enough to ruin the damn movie. Hell, whenever Gimli opened his mouth, I thought I was watching the D&D movie *shiver*
The Harry Potter movie characters, however, were right on target. Of course, it wasn't so much an adaptation as a transcription, just like Ralph Bakshi's LOTR was.
Meucci invented the telephone and had the patent stolen from him by Alexander Graham Bell. He was italian, was quite a character, AND is wife was paralyzed or something (for that extra dramatic element)

I thought Agent Smith made that distinction unnecessary

It's also pretty easy to hide CSS from Netscape 4. Use of @import or @media, among others, screw it up. See this page for the whole list of tricks.

Your link isn't especially helpful either. What's that langauge, dutch? Couldn't you have bothered with an explanation?
Data *is* the plural of datum.

Thirty disk is small? the tomsrtbt distro uses only *one* floppy. Wuss!

I'm not sure what's more impressive in this picture: the cake or the stack of lego boxes behind it...
